  1. Janet has proven great vocal ability on tracks such as Love Will Never Do (Without You),  "What'll I Do" (wish that would have been released as a single), Enjoy, Make Me, and most of the songs on Unbreakable (Especially Gon Be Alright ) which I feel is her best vocal album.

  2. At the very least, I hope she releases songs/videos to help sustain the project.  It gets tiring seeing Janet have CDs (except 20YO) that have strong singles on them, but the project just gets dropped.    It didn't particularly happen with All For You and Damita Jo, where Janet wanted to release songs from both CDs (Trust a Try and Come on Get Up) from All For You and R&B Junkie and My Baby from Damita Jo.   I just don't think Virgin wanted to release those.

    Unbreakable still has Dammn Baby, Broken Hearts Heal, Night, Take Me Away, and Gon Be Alright, all of which could have some type of release that could garner attention.   If the Dammn Baby video is finished, Janet has nothing to lose by not releasing it.

  3. I felt so disgusted watching that. She was forced to do it and later she said she wish she hadn't because you don't apologize if it was an accident

    Yeah, Janet did apologize over and over again, and had to say the same thing over and over again on several shows.    She got tired of apologizing for it because it seemed no one wanted to believe her.    I think that's why she is enjoying being an independent artist-she can handle things the way she wants-even if some of us are frustrated by the process.

  4. Love Janet's vocals on "What'll I Do," "Love Will Never Do Without You," "I Get Lonely," and "Gon Be Alright."   When she wants to really prove herself, she really goes all out.   Even after all of these years, I still hate that "What'll I Do" was never released as an official single in the US.

  5. she ain't doing none of those things

    I think I have accepted no more videos.    I just wish she would release a new single or at least a new lyric video to at least keep people interested.

  6. I don't Janet want to patronize the media anymore. I think it is really torturous for her to go do all that. I understand seeing what they put her through, but it not realistic in make a project this ambitious  be successful.

    I understand Janet doesn't want to be a part of the media that was so hurtful to her in the past.   However, she can just do minimal promo with regards to making small appearances, and at the very least releasing singles at a decent time to radio.     I play Unbreakable a lot around my younger nieces and nephews and you wouldn't believe how much they are into "Dammn Baby," and say it would be a great single.

  7. I can't blame them but I also think there are ticket-holders who understand there are worse things that could happen. And not everyone is so unforgiving. Janet postponed my RWU date when I was on a flight from Australia to New York to see her and I still purchased tickets to Up Close and Personal.

    The absence of promotion has been the biggest impediment by far. What I think frustrates fans the most is that she should know better.

    I think this sums things up for me in a nutshell.   I expected a lot more from Janet, especially with Jimmy behind her for the most part, in terms of promotion for this project.   Promo maybe something that Janet doesn't want to do, but it is necessary to get the word and project off the ground.   Promotion could have been in the realm of releasing singles at the right time, not to mention low budget videos and a couple of appearances on radio/awards shows-just minimal promotion.  Even here in the states, there seems to have been a missed opportunity with the release of BURNITUP as a legitimate single, and the lack of a current single that should have been released by now.   I think that with someone who has been in the business of consistently putting out albums/singles in the past, this should be common knowledge.    I don't want to see Janet trying to compete with younger artists, just release material so that people know that she is still the Janet Jackson we all know she can be from an artist's perspective.
